Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
Night at the Museum is really just Larry Daley coming to the Museum of Natural History and saying , "These motherfuckers ain't got any enrichment in their enclosures, of course they're misbehaving."
Finally finished this little series with some NATM characters as Sylvanian Families figurines. Also I thought I'd add the drawing of Jed and Oct again in case anyone hasn't seen it so yeah
Reasons why Jedtavius is canon but not blatantly expressed
The time of release:
In the first interview which is about the third movie, which came out in 2014 (same-sex marriage was legalized in all 50 states in 2015 btw)
Owen Wilson says,
“There's been a big sort of transition from that antagonism and bickering... flowed into... almost a love, although they'd never admit it.”
In the video you can see Shawn Levy perk up as soon as Owen mentions ‘love’ and is very quick to correct “a brotherly love”
I assume this is because the movie had already been accused of pushing an agenda because of Octavius’ remarks about Lancelot; saying he was “handsome” and had “hypnotic blue eyes”
At the time having a gay character(s) in a kids movie was still considered ‘taboo’ and could lead to some issues causing the film not being able to be shown in certain places.
I love the unique dynamic of jedtavius so much, but why does everyone usually pit Jed as the dumb one?Jedediah Strong Smith was an accomplished explorer with a decent education, who could fully read and write in a time when literacy wasnt always standard (he also learned some latin, fanfiction writers do with that what you will). Meanwhile, Octavius not only probably believes the earth is flat but genuinely believes that the sun revolves around the earth. It doesn't come into conversation much, so no one has corrected him. (Heliocentrism wasn't really accepted until the mid 1700s).
Not to say that Jed doesn't have his own historical misconceptions. The theory of evolution didn't really get off the ground until well into the 1800s, and the real Jedediah Smith died in 1831 (same year Charwin left on the HMS Beagle). So he probably initially thought Rexy was some kind of dragon monster.
It's weird the think about wat the early days of the museum were like before everyone figured what was really going on.
But imagine, Octavius makes some off handed comment about falling off the "edge of the earth"
Jed: what in the Sam hill are you talking about partner?🤨
Octavius *loves Jedediah dearly, but genuinely thinks that he's a sweet simple bafoon sometimes* because the world is flat my love. Don't be embarrassed for not knowing that😊
Eventually, this leads to a fight bad enough that they need Larry to intervene. From then on, once a week, Larry holds family meetings so the exhibits can ask questions about the outside world and update their knowledge.
